Why Have a Scavenger Hunt?

If you’ve ever wondered what the hype is all about with people going crazy solving clues and jumping from location to location you may be asking “why have a scavenger hunt?”

There are several reasons why, and in a few minutes you may be wondering what took you so long to start one!

Active Fun

What do most people do when they get together? They sit around the TV. Or a movie screen. Or a dinner table. Sure a movie can be a lot of fun, but sometimes it’s great to get outside and get moving!

Not only can a scavenger hunt be a great way to get moving, it can be a great way to keep people engaged. If you have friends that are always asking “what should we do next”, or kids that seem to have more energy than things to do, having an active task can turn boredom into excitement.

If you can see how having something active can make your interactions better, but you’re still asking “why have a scavenger hunt” then you might want to think about how you connect with others.

Fun Way to Connect

There are a lot of ways to spend time with others, but a scavenger hunt is one of the best ways to spend time with people you care about for several reasons.

First of all, doing something active and engaging makes things more memorable. If you want to get together to do something that matters, a scavenger hunt is a great way to make time together impactful.

Secondly, solving puzzles together and deciphering clues has a much stronger impact than just sitting on a couch together and staring at a screen. Working together to solve problems makes for a stronger connection and a lot more fun.

But if you’re still asking “why have a scavenger hunt” then think about this: each one is unique.

Each One Is Unique

One of the best parts about a scavenger hunt is that every one is different from the last. Even if you build a scavenger hunt, like in the AweVenture app, and you decide to rerun it over and over, you still will do it at different times, and probably with different people.

But you can definitely make each one unique. You can go to different locations. You can come up with different clues. You can add special extras that you hadn’t done before. A scavenger hunt can be as unique as you want it to be.

So why have a scavenger hunt? To have active fun that makes events memorable, to connect with people that matter to you and spend valuable time together, and to do something that’s as unique as you are. There are so many more reasons as well, but that’s what makes them even more fun: there’s always something else you can do to make a scavenger hunt that much more exciting.
